Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

Perhaps it was because of this "Jesker Rebellion" that the Fritz royal family took over a large area of ​​noble territory and wealth into the royal family, so for the royal family, this rebellion does not seem to be all bad.

At least, that is the case for Rubia Fritz.

Because in the eyes of many people at the time, the beheading action carried out by Kress and others on Jeske Holden was just to assassinate a noble lord who was trading with evil undead.

No one will know that Jeske Horton is also a knight who is very good at fighting, and no one will know that Kress and the others will face Darkoori, the king of the undead, who is a hundred times more powerful than Jeske Horton.

In the eyes of most people, it is indeed an extremely difficult task to be able to decapitate Jeske Horton, but it is not difficult to complete.

Therefore, even under the intentional bias of Rubia Fritz, "Dawn" Kress and his party can only get such rewards.

This is in direct proportion to the achievement of defeating Dark Auri.

But Kress didn't care about it, because he didn't put much hope in the reward from the royal family of Fritz. After defeating Dakouri, he had already got what he wanted to be of equal value...

Even speaking, if too many people know that Kress defeated Darkoori, it will be detrimental to Kress' actions.

but……

Kress's performance, in the eyes of a few people such as Rubia Fritz, is a chivalry that is indifferent to fame and fortune... This is very strange.

As for "Cold Iron"...

Rubia Fritz believes that now is not the best time to make a clean break with Cold Iron.

Since "Cold Iron" did not ostensibly help Jeske Horton's rebellion, then, let's focus on appeasement first.

But also, necessary precautions must be taken.

Temporarily move the "Cold Iron" out of the urban area of ​​Yayu City, and then give some so-called "rewards" that are not painful.

……

Fritz Palace.

evening.

Throne Room.

The magnificent and magnificent hall, even though it was still occupied by rebels a few days ago, but fortunately, Jeske Horton has no intention of destroying this century-old building.

The first princess, the sole heir of the Fritz Kingdom——Rubia Fritz, is now taking the place of King Fritz, sitting on the throne that symbolizes supreme royal power.

King Fritz was physically and mentally exhausted during this "Jesker Rebellion".

At the same time, Prince Fritz realized the intelligence and resourcefulness of his daughter, but under various intentional or unintentional drives, King Fritz handed over many powers of managing the kingdom to Rubia Fritz.

And the facts have proved that Rubia Fritz is indeed very good at governance.

……

"Honorable Princess Lubia..."

Accompanied by the knocking sound of the adventurer's leather boots, a stainless-steel-rank adventurer dressed as a noble man from the Eastern Empire appeared in the center of the throne room.

The man put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly to salute, and when he raised his head again, it was Kress under the illusion.

"Baron Kress, please get up."

Rubia Fritz, sitting on the throne, put down the memorial in his hand on how to restore the destruction by the Jesik rebels, kept a decent smile, and said lightly——

"Kress, when you were in Hesmu City, you didn't seem like someone who would be so restrictive about me..."

This time, Rubia Fritz was not addressing Kress's title, but directly addressing him by his name.

There was no change in Kress's calm and rational eyes.

But in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Kress responded to Rubia Fritz with a slight smile——

"When I was in Hesmu City, Miss Rubia didn't need to sit on the throne to talk to me..."

The words between the two were concise and clear.

There was a long silence, and in the huge throne room, only the two of them looked at each other silently.

Suddenly, Rubia Fritz, who was sitting on the throne, chuckled lightly, and said playfully——

"Kress, I hope that in private, it's better not to be too respectful to me. I like getting along with you."

"my pleasure."

Kress verbally agreed to Rubia Fritz's request, but still maintained basic etiquette.

Rubia Fritz didn't pay much attention.

After a series of simple negotiations between the two, Rubia Fritz suddenly turned his face straight, and asked lightly——

"I don't know, Kress, do you know where the undead army that Jeske Horton has tried so hard to gather suddenly went?"

Kress, who had already been given the seat by Rubia Fritz, suddenly felt slightly relieved after hearing Rubia's question...

He had known for a long time that the royal family of Fritz could not forget this huge force that was a huge threat and was most likely to be used by him.

Originally, after the undead army at that time left under his control with the help of the [Death Orb], Kress was still worried that he would be blocked by other royal teams or adventure unions.

But now judging from Rubia Fritz's questioning, it is not...

"Miss Rubia, I heard from the soldiers of the royal guard that after the death of Jessic Horton, the army of masterless this time dispersed on its own."

"Oh?"

Rubia Fritz obviously didn't believe Kress's perfunctory answer, but he couldn't refute it directly, so he said leisurely to himself——

"However, how did I hear that the undead army was obviously controlled by other people, and they defected and launched a fatal attack on the rebels before they retreated in an orderly manner?"

There is a tinge of girlish innocence in Rubia Fritz's words.

At this moment, it was difficult for Kress to refute directly, but...

Before Kress could think about his excuse, Rubia Fritz said again——

"Actually, you have already controlled the army of the undead, right? Dear...Mr. Kress..."

Kress was suddenly speechless.

The famous sword [Liu Li] hanging at the waist began to make a faint sound, which was the reaction of the famous sword after feeling the murderous aura...

This murderous aura did not come from Kress, but rather from Rubia Fritz who was sitting in the top position.

It was also at this moment that Kress gradually realized that the woman in front of him was by no means the simple and money-loving woman she had shown in Hesmu City...

"Rubia...Your Highness..."

Kress's words were still cold and calm, but there was a slight hesitation when addressing the other party.

Suddenly, the famous sword [Liu Li] became quiet...

"Hahaha……"

The silver bell-like laughter of the beautiful girl came from the throne above, Rubia Fritz got up slightly, and slowly walked down from the throne——

"Kress, you don't have to be too nervous. I was just joking with you?"
